About Niveen
Niveen Rajabdeen is an ACA counsellor who uses a collaborative, person-centred approach to help people untangle stress, anxiety, relationship problems and life changes. She writes simply and listens closely, aiming to help people feel steadier and clearer about their next steps.
Niveen works with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected. She supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, workplace stress, grief, trauma and shifts in cultural identity. Money and financial issues are also within her list of focuses and may be discussed when they affect wellbeing and relationships.
Her style is warm and practical. Sessions often include talking through patterns, noticing how the body reacts to stress, and learning everyday tools to manage distress. She draws on approaches that suit each person rather than using one fixed method.
Across more than seven years of practice she has combined counselling, psychotherapy and mindfulness-informed work. Her background also includes experience with yoga, meditation and Ayurveda, which she may bring into sessions when appropriate.
Niveen helps clients build greater self-awareness and resilience. She aims to strengthen relationships and improve day-to-day coping. The focus is on small, achievable changes that add up over time.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Niveen draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing painful thoughts and values-driven action rather than trying to push thoughts away, which helps with anxiety and life changes. CBT looks at thought and behaviour patterns and offers concrete strategies for managing symptoms like worry or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions, which is useful for intimacy and communication issues.Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Niveen works with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking in about what feels useful and adjusting strategies over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use approaches like ACT and CBT in everyday settings, so skills learned in sessions can be tried between meetings and reviewed with the therapist.
